After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, New York
scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and
came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone
network more than 100 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, California
scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after, headlines in the
California newspapers read: "California archaeologists have found traces of
200 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had
an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers."
One week later, "The Aitkin Age", a local newspaper in Aitkin,
Minnesota reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30
meters in peat fields just north of Palisade, Ole Johnson, a self taught archaeologist,
reported that he found absolutely nothing (he had help digging from his buddy Sven).
Ole has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Minnesota had already gone wireless.
